Fire-resistant glass is one aspect

Special glazing and door solutions with fire-resistant characteristics are not only made of fire-resistant glass, but are part of holistic, tried and tested life-safety systems. We offer a special range of these fire system solutions to provide protection in escape routes and compartmentalize fire to limit the harmful effects of fire and smoke to building occupants.

CONTRAFLAM STRUCTURE

DESCRIPTION

Contraflam Structure sets new standards in the design of transparent fire protection. It is a patented flush butt-joint glass solution without vertical frame profiles that ensures fire-resistive properties for up to 120 minutes. The floor-to-ceiling glazing resembles a continuous, uninterrupted glass wall only jointed with silicone – almost like one large piece of glass. This allows the building to be flooded with natural daylight without compromising on safety. It is adapted to the static requirements for partitions and walls, and tested to reach high impact resistance and line loads.
